What do yall think are some good jobs for someone with a Diploma in general automotive mechanics
I was thinking about specializing on some specific part, but i dont know yet.
So what do yall think would be good choice?

for a different approach on it you could be a high school auto mechanics teacher.

I actually thought about that, but they pay would be horrible, i wouldn't have enough to restore anything

Is there a market for just resorting 1950-present cars?

if anyone would know, i think it would be redneck383 o w/e the name is. i think you could just get a major in automechanics, just specialize in body work and detailing. that should do it. mostly.

Yes there's a market for restoring older cars, but the market is flooded with shops that specialised in it.

You could learn the trade, and work at one of those places for a few years, get your bearings and venture off on your own.

Good luck.
